"The Washington Commanders are now 3-8 after a defeat to the Miami Dolphins. There are still six games left to navigate after the bye week. Still, fans have already turned their attention to what promises to be a tenure-defining offseason for general manager Adam Peters. This roster has a ton of holes. A plethora of experienced starters are out of contract. The need to get younger is glaring, and the Commanders could have around $100 million in available salary-cap space they need to use wisely."
"Peters only has six picks in the 2026 NFL Draft after standing pat at the trade deadline. That makes things more difficult, but it seems, for all the smart money, as if the Commanders are going to have a high-end first-rounder to either take a blue-chip prospect or trade back for more selections. It's an interesting dilemma for Peters. The need to focus on defensive reinforcements cannot be overstated, and this looks like a good draft to accomplish this feat."
Washington Commanders sit at 3-8 with six regular-season games remaining after the bye, increasing pressure for a decisive offseason under general manager Adam Peters. The roster has numerous holes, many experienced starters are entering free agency, and the team must get younger while managing roughly $100 million in available salary-cap space. Peters holds only six selections in the 2026 NFL Draft after standing pat at the trade deadline but appears poised to own a top-10 pick that could be used on a blue-chip prospect or traded for assets. Defensive reinforcements are a clear priority, with Ohio State safety Caleb Downs viewed as a potentially transformative, versatile playmaker despite positional-value concerns.
